Tyler Valcich Auto Show

Tyler Valcich, a Montauk resident who died at age 20 in May, will be remembered by his friends and family with a Tyler Valcich Auto Show, set for Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the American Legion Hall in Amagansett. Proceeds will benefit the Tyler Valcich Memorial Fund within the Greater East Hampton Education Foundation, which provides educational opportunities to students from Montauk to Sagaponack.

The fund was established to increase and improve coordination and delivery of mental health services for students and their families. Money raised will be used to support counseling and educational services and programs aimed at crisis prediction and prevention.

The day will entail a gathering of vehicles, including trucks and antique cars. All vehicles are eligible to enter for a $20 donation. Entrants can send an email to [email protected] to secure a space. General admission is $5 for adults. Children will be admitted free.

Also planned is a raffle with prizes from local businesses, a barbecue provided by the East Hampton Lions Club, and a performance by the band Red Sky. Limited commemorative T-shirts and wristbands will be available for purchase.

Two friends of Mr. Valcich, Abigail Schutte and Kyle Fagerland, as well as the Valcich family and other friends and organizations, have organized the event. They have suggested tax-deductible donations to the Greater East Hampton Education Foundation, P.O. Box 7175, East Hampton 11937.

A 2011 East Hampton High School graduate, Mr. Valcich graduated from the Universal Technical Institute the following year. He worked as a mechanic for his family’s businesses, Mickey’s Carting and Mickey’s Montauk Mowing. He was also a volunteer with the Montauk Fire Department.
